The Fellowship's resources for college, seminary students

The Cooperative Baptist Fellowship has a commitment to invest in young Baptists. 
 

College students

College students have opportunities to engage in summer internships in a CBF partnering church or a mission experience around the world through Student.Go. There's also a regular CBF collegiate conference called Antiphony.
 

Seminary students

The Fellowship actively assists Baptist students in their quest for quality theological education that prepares persons called by God for vocational ministry. Through a network of CBF partner schools, CBF supports seminary students through various resources including CBF Leadership Scholarships.

Scholarships are available in two forms: block grants given to Baptists students in schools supported by CBF and CBF Leadership Scholarships for students specifically supportive of the Baptist principles that CBF advocates. For more information, please contact the financial aid offices of the CBF partner schools in which you are interested. Scholarships are awarded on the basis of financial need, commitment to serve in Baptist life in keeping with the mission statement of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, and potential success in theological education and ministry.

Our commitment is to Baptist theological education that affords intellectual and spiritual freedom to both students and professors in an atmosphere of reverence for biblical authority and respect for open inquiry and responsible scholarship.

More ways to engage with CBF include:

• Get involved with Current, CBF's young Baptist network. There are opportunities for leadership, an annual retreat and an annual nationwide service project.
